My read on what happened this week - or, rather, what DIDN'T happen - is that the American public's reaction to the threats of bans, registration and even various confiscations. We DIDN'T see any of that imposed on us via diktat for one simple reason: we've been emptying the gun stores, gun shows internet stores and big box stores of everything gun-related for the better part of a month.

I think that wannabbee King O and some of his fellow travelers realized that there was going to be MASSIVE non-compliance, and lost their balls.

They haven't given up...but, then again, I still haven't been able to find full shelves of ammo anywhere, and the local Academy stores (4 that I'm reasonably near) have full parking lots at all hours of the working week, with shelves empty of ammo and lots of people just shaking their heads - this despite several deliveries each week. So, the longer Maobama waits, the better armed are the American people.

I sent a letter this morning...guess I should expect a visit from the SS tonight.

Fuck-em.

Mr President, Mr Vice President, Honerable Senators and Congressmen,

Please do not allow your reaction to the horrible Sandy Hook event be to further limit the law-abiding citizens their god-given right to bear arms. Saying "do this for the children" may pull our heart-strings, however, your reaction to ban semi-automatic rifles will do nothing to prevent another madman from illegally obtaining them.

Additionally, you have no right to deprive law-abiding citizens their right of protection. And to be honest, I dont trust our Government any more than I would trust the commandant of a concentration camp to protect my liberty.

We dont need more laws, we need to train and arm our teachers and school administrators. We need to get rid of the "Gun-free zones" and instead arm-up. It has been shown 100% that when the people are armed, the rate of crime in that area declines. In case after case this is true, but somehow you paranoid assholes continue to yell and scream for the disarmament of the populace. How did that shit work out in Detroit or Chicago for that matter Mr. President? How is it working out in New York? The only ones with guns are the criminals. There are even places where the police will not go unless it is in a large force.

On a second note, I wish to say that if any attempt is made to disarm the population, a civil war is bound to erupt. I dont want this, the American people dont want this, and I certainly hope that you think long and hard before creating any law that would put something like this into effect. There are too many people who are willing to go to their graves rather than give up their weapons. These are good people, not Adam Lanza's. There is no need to make criminals out of law abiding citizens. If you do, I guarantee that there will be millions who will defy government and that would mean the end of this nation. The second civil war would erupt and there wont be anywhere to hide from the wrath of the American people.

We are still a people of passion. We are still a peolpe of resolve. Do not think for a moment that the American people would somehow just allow this country to become a facist state. Do not be drawn into the unintended consequence of a civil war because of your own ignorance.

I sincerely hope that you Senators and Congressmen understand that if you vote to disarm, you will be voted out of office expediently. You are supposed to represent US...the people in your states and districts. This is not your choice to make, you MUST vote the will of the people, not your own mind or heart....it is not up to you, you work for US.

There are millions of Americans who await your decisions on this matter. Please remember your oaths to "preserve, protect and defend" our constitution.

What I am about to say does not mean we should lose our vigilance in the defense of our 2nd Amendment rights but... We do know what just happened right. We won this round.They backed down. Sure they did it gracefully, but they did. They opened up a hornets nest, their liberal mouthpieces got schooled and they had to give up for now. For all their tough talk what came of it? Im not saying that what did occur was good, I dont feel any restrictions, benign or otherwise are tolerable. But those chicken$%^& progressives backed down. New York on the other hand... Thats a mess the libs made and now they are going to have to deal with it, and that stuff is going to get very chaotic for them. I mean really saying that everyone in NY is a lib is stupid, thats like saying everyone in CA is. Im glad I dont have to clean up that mess.In the end the libs huffed and puffed, cried for their mommy, drank their applejuice, pooped, and went to sleep.Ha!What did you expect from a bunch of cowards who love the smell of their own poop?

I think Obama backed off cause half his people got the flu. Mike Civil war IS comeing. The feds are hellbent on citizen disarmerment. The Masters in the UN demand it. I'm still looking for a false flag event some time after winters end, so that they can hit us all at once. IMO; this isn't over its just delayed, They want to wait till we go back to sleep, then drop the hammer in the dead of night.

I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. They pretty much knew that a ban was a no go. They will settle for less. The private sale checks and use of medical records is a real problem over the long term. Universal NICS checks creates a defacto registry. Use of medical records in the "improved" NICS check is a wide ranging weapon in the hands of the Progressives that we haven't even begun to see the results of. The impact won't be seen for several years. Any veteran with a hint of PTSD will be on the list. Any child who has ADD will be on the list and will never be able to buy a gun as an adult. It is a can of worms that plays right into the Progs hands.

Advice on child rearing from my son.

Everyone should grow up with simulated equipment from a heavy weapons platoon. It gives you a more well rounded education and an appreciation for the finer things in life. -- Sergeant Matthew Vanderboegh, United States Army.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
